Famous Auto Racer Gives Instructions How to Get a Hun in the Air and You Can Try it for Yourself.

(Copyrlgrbt 1918 by The United Prees.) WITH THE AMERICAN AIRMEN IN FRANCE. July 10, (By Mail) "How do you feel up there in the air when you're jockeying with a Hun for chance to bring him down before he pets you?" was the question put to Eddie Rickenbacker American ace and former auto racer. Rickenbacker reflected a moment and then said: "Tou don't feel very much because you are too busy watching the Heinle's machine. But you think of It as a machine and not as a man. I never think of the man in the boche plane, but regard a fight as a spcrt. in which we both take chances, and if he is better than I and uses better judgment he will get me, but If I am better sportsman I'll get him first. "Fighting in the air in the chasse work at any rate is more a question of keen thinking and good judgment than anything else. Tou first try to outguess your opponent and then try to ret position on him. Attacking is a

question of knowing when to pique on j can f.vers have been most successful

DIAMOND Squeegee Tread Tires are now the only standard brand tires cn the mcrl:et made with handsome Black Tread and Red Sides. Others, imitating Diamond in color combination, have failed to pass the strenuous tests of quality demanded by actual service. They imitated color only Diamond quality they could not duplicate. Thus always with imitations!

him. and when not to.

"Of course a good flyer has to have his nerve with him and we all fear mistakes of not attacking when we should, more than we fear being shot. A mistake like that, of allowing your nerve to fall you just cannot be foolhardy and reckless. Doug Campbell, our aliArnerican ace, had worked out some unusual tactics regarding fighting boches which have succeeded remarkably. He is of a studious turn of mind and figures out what the methodical German mind would expect him to do at a certain time or in a certain situation. Then Doug does just the opposite. "For example h has pitued on Boches in certain positions which were thought to mean sure death, but he did it suddenly and unexpectedly and be

fore the German mind had conceived of I

the situation. Doug had let mm nave it and dived out of position again. He's landed several Boches that way. "Tou have to make some quick decisions up in the blue sky sometimes and they're pretty important for you. too But that Is the Important part of the game, and a f ascinatin part. It has been one of the phases where the Amer-

Their Judgment has been made in a lightning way. But most of the boys are well educated men and quick thinkers. "After you fly awhile you get a sense of feeling that is new. Tou sort of feel a boche around and feel the direction too. since it is hard to see him. Of course you are always looking around because a couple of minutes without care would enable a German to fire, on you unexpectedly and it might mean flowers. "Most people who have never flown imagine running the rlane Is a question of concentrated attention on the mechanics of it. That is not so. Once you get up you can fly along for a long time, without touching a lever and

without bothering about the motor. Tou don't need to stir because there Is noth

ing to hit and your only concern is not getting too far info Germany. Since there are no ruts in the air nor trees to hit, and since the. air is a big space your direction makes a little diff' rer.ee. Tou can't bump into anything. "The thing you watch most Is the

huge space nil around you and

your ecs open for more planes. Once; you see one you immediately work .for

position until you learn whether it is a j ; fr;er.d or boche. Then you act accord- j ; ingly and it never takes long to make ; : up your mind what eu do. !. "Vlouds are risky things.

uy for Quality Alone Today

Curtailment in Production Makes Quality the only Economy at Present

Today war-time conditions make dependability the first essential of your autorr.Tjstle. It is no: a question of convenience but necessity., The business man speeding up production of war materials the farmer trying to make two bushels grow where one grew before the women giving their time day in and out to war activities would find their efforts suddenly cut In two without their automobiles. And yet who kno'Aj where curtailment in automobile production Is going to stop? Who knows how long the steady drain of expert mechanics to government service must continue. One thing is sure. You must use your automobile for a greater number of years. You must exact harder service frcm it. So you must have quality. You can no longer rely on the pleasant practice of driving your Car a short time and then exchanging it for a new one. Here then is the big reason for ordering your Super-Six and ordering it NOW.

It almost seerrs as if Hudson engineers built three years ago with the present situation in mind. In the wonderful Super-Six motor they put power and endurance beyond anything previously attained. Then they proved the Super-Six by the most grinding series of tests to which an automobile had even been subjected race track mountain climbs cros3 continental tours the daily experience of thousands of motorists. The Super-Six is the car which will "carry en" no matter how long you must drive it. It makes you more independent as rar us the scarcity of service mechanics is concerned. If you want a Super-Six, make sure of it. Order it now. The demand at piesent and for some time past has been so insistent that, even with exceptionally high pr!ce3 offered for used Super-Sixes, there are not enough Hudsons to go around. It is only the part of wisdom to anticipate your needs even a year distant.

PLAYERS LOSE FAVOR WITH THE SOLDIER BOYS NEW YORK, Aug. 15. Big league ball players have lost their prtpuliriy with the boys in khaki, according to Lieut. Harry ("Mctsc") McCormick, formerly a member of the Giants, but who reached here

yesterday straight from the firing line. "If the club owners and players knew what the boys on the other side think of them they'd suit talking about a world's series," he said. "The decision to play a world's series after the expiration of Secretary Baker's reprieve and the action of players in jumping to the Steel League has created a bad impression."
